Spirit Hall's Way of Doing Things

Spirit City, Papal Palace.

Bibi Dong quietly watched Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan kneeling before her and said calmly, "It seems the matter I had you investigate has yielded results."

"Reporting to His Holiness the Pope." Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan bowed slightly, then took a document from his robes and handed it to Bibi Dong. "I have thoroughly investigated the matter you sent me to look into at Sacred Soul Village. This contains all the information regarding Tang San's background."

"Well done." Bibi Dong accepted the documents Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan handed over. Her slender, fair fingers gently flipped through the pages as her eyes shifted, carefully reading them.

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan said in a deep voice, "Your Holiness, after investigating, I can confirm that Tang San's father, Tang Hao, is undoubtedly the one who severely injured—"

Before he could finish, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan sensed a chill rise in the air. He immediately shut his mouth and said no more.

Bibi Dong casually glanced at the silenced Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, her gaze narrowing slightly. She said evenly, "Your investigation was thorough. I never expected the famed Clear Sky Douluo to hide away in a small village as a blacksmith. No wonder the soul master world lost track of him."

"Tang San's martial soul is definitely not ordinary Blue Silver Grass. A useless martial soul like Blue Silver Grass cannot awaken with Innate Full Soul Power. If I recall correctly, that Soul Beast from back then seemed to be a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor that had taken human form."

"Your Holiness, based on my many years of studying flowers and plants, Tang San's martial soul is very likely Blue Silver Grass that has yet to awaken. Once it awakens, it should become the emperor of the Blue Silver Grass clan—the Blue Silver Emperor!" Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan voiced his suspicion.

"The emperor of the Blue Silver Grass clan..." Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes flickered. She slowly rose from the Pope's throne and said lightly, "The Clear Sky Hammer, the world's number one tool martial soul, and the Blue Silver Emperor, the emperor of the Blue Silver Grass clan. Tang Hao certainly had everything planned out."

"Then... Your Holiness, should we now..." Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan did not finish his sentence, instead making a throat-slitting gesture.

They now understood Tang San's background. He was the son of Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao, the possessor of Twin Martial Souls, bearing both the world's number one tool martial soul and the Blue Silver Emperor. Given time to grow, he would inevitably bring immense losses to Spirit Hall.

"Heh. Naturally, I will not allow a child who bears a blood feud against Spirit Hall and possesses Twin Martial Souls to grow up. Even if he has yet to reveal the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, how could Blue Silver Grass with an unawakened bloodline possess Innate Full Soul Power?"

As the Pope of Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong possessed an exceptionally deep knowledge of martial soul theory. She herself possessed two top-tier beast martial souls, and with Spirit Hall's theoretical records, she was ninety-nine percent certain that Tang San possessed Twin Martial Souls.

As for the single Blue Silver Grass martial soul recorded in his martial soul awakening file, anyone with even a little caution would not expose their second martial soul.

"Elder Ju, we cannot act rashly yet. The enemy is hidden while we are exposed. If we make a rash move, then with Tang Hao's strength, even if you and Elder Ghost joined forces, you would not last more than a few exchanges against him."

"Moreover, if we fail to kill him in a single blow, not only will Tang Hao realize our intentions, but we will also invite that madman's frenzied retaliation. By then, even Spirit Hall would suffer more losses than gains, would it not?"

Bibi Dong's gaze shifted. She understood the strength of Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo very well. Unless the few offerings from Worship Hall took action, it would likely be difficult to capture Tang Hao.

As for the elders of Elder Hall, Bibi Dong had even less hope for them. After all, Ghost Douluo was the First Elder of Elder Hall, while Chrysanthemum Douluo was the Second Elder.

If even the First Elder and Second Elder could not deal with an opponent, sending elders weaker than the two of them would simply be sending them to their deaths.

Bibi Dong was not foolish enough to do that. Besides, she was currently undergoing the Rakshasa Nine Trials and could not use her full strength at all. Those elders would still be useful in the future, so there was no need to completely fall out with Tang Hao for now.

However, Bibi Dong did not intend to simply wait helplessly. Though she could not act herself, someone else could—for example, the Great Elder of Worship Hall, Qian Daoliu, who was known as invincible in the sky.

As the Pope of Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong vaguely understood why Qian Daoliu had not launched an attack on the Clear Sky Sect. Otherwise, that incident alone would have been enough to make the Clear Sky Sect disappear completely from Douluo Continent.

"Your Holiness, aside from Tang San, I also uncovered information about two other geniuses with Innate Full Soul Power." Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan spoke after pondering for a moment.

"Oh? You have been quite thoughtful." Bibi Dong glanced at Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and said, "Tell me, why did those two children refuse Spirit Hall's invitation? You should know such matters, shouldn't you?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan was briefly stunned, then said thoughtfully, "Your Holiness, according to the deacon at Spirit Hall's branch, the child named Cheng Xiao seems to wish to become a free soul master. The child named Xiao Wu gave the same reason as Cheng Xiao."

"A free soul master?" Bibi Dong paused slightly. Her beautiful eyes rippled, and her red lips curved upward. "What an interesting answer. I never expected a six-year-old child who had only just awakened his martial soul to say something like that."

"Elder Ju, what is Cheng Xiao's background? Innate Full Soul Power—could he be a genius from some reclusive family?"

"Your Holiness, I investigated Cheng Xiao's background. He is completely an orphan, found and raised by Old Man Cheng, the village chief of Cheng Family Village. I found no information concerning his parents," Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan said in a deep voice.

Before returning from Sacred Soul Village, he had deliberately made a trip to Spirit Hall's branch in Nuoding City to obtain detailed information on the other two geniuses with Innate Full Soul Power.

Although Bibi Dong had not told him to investigate them, that did not mean he should not. To avoid drawing her anger upon himself, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan had still investigated the backgrounds of Cheng Xiao and Xiao Wu.

Cheng Xiao was not much of an issue, but Xiao Wu's background left him rather confused. She was another orphan, without father or mother. He did not even know where she had awakened her martial soul. She had appeared out of nowhere, which was very strange.

"Heh, there is no need to concern ourselves with those two children for now. Since he wishes to become a free soul master, there is no need to rush to recruit him into Spirit Hall." Bibi Dong stretched lazily, revealing the flawless curve of her waist. Seeing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan quickly lowered his head and did not look at her.

"Elder Ju, keep a close eye on geniuses with Innate Full Soul Power. No matter which faction they join, Spirit Hall is their best choice. Before the other factions learn of them, make sure to bring them into Spirit Hall. Otherwise, make them disappear from Douluo Continent."

"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope." Hearing Bibi Dong decide the future fate of two six-year-old children in just a few words, even Chrysanthemum Douluo, who had followed her for many years, felt his heart tremble.

"I nearly forgot. Cheng Xiao's martial soul is a Shadow Soldier. It seems to have some connection to Elder Ghost's martial soul. If possible, I would prefer for him to take one of you two elders as his master. After all, you are both Titled Douluo, top-tier experts across the entire continent."

"No matter what, the geniuses of Douluo Continent must ultimately be under Spirit Hall's control. I cannot control the Upper Three Sects, but can I not control those outside the Upper Three Sects?"

Bibi Dong's voice was cold and clear. Even when making such ruthless threats, she maintained an elegant and noble bearing.

"Yue Guan understands," Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan said in a deep voice.

"Enough of that. After talking for so long, it is time to handle some proper business." Bibi Dong lightly clenched her hand, and the Golden Scepter appeared in her grasp. She then said calmly, "Yue Guan, accompany me to Worship Hall."

"Such a major matter concerning Spirit Hall should naturally be made known to the Great Elder as well."
